Best of the Best Restaurants
Casual Dining - World
These restaurants might be casual, but there’s nothing casual about how much travellers love them. Because really good food and really good vibes are a winning combo.
The Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.
As its name suggests, this restaurant uses fresh and organic ingredients from their farm in Peru's Sacred Valley. Organika's must-try dish is the beetroot carpaccio, which goes perfectly with a house-made lemonade. They also offer a complimentary dessert—a sweet ending to your lovely meal.

@Y6942UAdianafReviewed October 2024 - Best food we’ve had in Peru. You can tell the ingredients are incredibly fresh, the dishes are presented to such a high standard and the mix of flavours is perfect. Our waitress Whini, was also very attentive and made us feel well looked after. If you’re looking for a slightly more refined meal in Cusco without paying a fortune, this is the perfect place!
